I sold my car last year so I don't have it to check but I ran either a 3 or 5mm spacer front and back. I don't remember if I was close to the calipers but I don't believe so. If I remember correctly I had 235/45r17 tires and calculated that switching to a 245/40r17 would fit but I never got...

Just want to add to the conversation as a person in the insurance industry be careful using stated value vs agreed value. Sometimes stated value means that is the most the insurance company will pay but If something does happen they will actually pay actual cash value which as we all know is...

Down in Salem Oregon.

Or both! Unfortunately not in the cards right now haha. Would be nice though.

I agree with your post to a certain extent. I think one variable is how much work someone is willing to put into a car beyond basic repairs and maintenance. When I got mine I had looked at several more "used" DSM's and been scared off by the idea of major repairs because I didn't have as much...

It's nice when there is an easy fix rather than a hard one haha.

It was a bit lighter now that you mention. Just goes to show one should think long and hard about what changes one is making before just throwing in parts.

This isn't really related but maybe it will help someone if they stumble onto this down the road. I would still like to get the transmission rebuilt just before parts completely dry for the peace of mind that is done butttt... Switching back to the stock shift knob really improved shift feeling...

Following this thread because my 1st and 2nd shifts are pretty notchy and I'd like to improve that. The slave seems like there is way too much play and I don't think it's right that it doesn't come back out once pushed in. Here's a crappy video of how mine behaves:I also took photos of where...

Sorry to hear your are not doing rebuilds anymore but understandable. Thanks for the input.

I'd like to know why you say that as well. Also what are your turn around times for rebuilds looking like right now?

Thanks for the reply Tim, hope I didn't come across as complaining as I completely understand how busy you are. The only thing that would keep me from going through you is your backlog which again I understand. I'm not pulling the trigger in the immediate future so we will see. I do want to get...

Good to know TRE is still doing DSM's. I'd certainly like to hear how it is when you get it back.Yeah I have used TMZ before for other things and parts but I sent him an email about a week ago and haven't heard back so I imagine he's pretty busy right now. I'm sure they all do a fine job.

Like a lot of things probably.

I don't know if you have the idle squared away but I had an obnoxious idle I couldn't tame till she members pointed me towards the throttle stop screw and that fixed it.
